TITLE TK

TITLE TK by Thierry Kuntzel, is the third volume of the anarchive 
series, both a new work and a database covering  all of the artist's 
works. First known for his work as a film theorist, Thierry Kuntzel 
is one of the most important artists in France today. He produced 
most of his videotapes between 1979 and 1980, and since has created 
installations with projected images, light and sound.

The book (648 pages) includes the transcription of about 600 of his 
working notes, more than a half of them translated into English. The 
DVD-ROM also presents these manuscripts, and some of these are read 
by Kuntzel. Through video excerpts of the works that are revealed 
interactively to the reader, three main paths are possible: body, 
representation and time. The variations of light and changes of 
speed, the multiplicity of points of view and the place of the 
spectator, the apparition and disappearance of traces, highlight the 
processes of memory and of perception, the fragility of all image, 
the futility of any attempt to hold on to an image.
In addition, the description of nearly forty works, several 
theoretical texts by Kuntzel, here collected for the first time. A 
selection of texts referring to his works also can be accessed in the 
database.
